CareDx: Wells Fargo downgrades to Equal-Weight, PT to $14 from $19.

Wells Fargo has downgraded its rating for CareDx (CDNA) to Equal-Weight and reduced its price target from $19.00 to $14.00. The investment bank's latest assessment comes after CareDx reported mixed earnings results for the second quarter of 2025. Despite the downgrade, the stock has shown resilience, with analysts noting the company's recent financial performance.

CareDx reported earnings of $0.1 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.12 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.25 per share a year ago. The quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -16.67%, indicating a significant drop from the previous year. However, it is important to note that this quarterly report includes non-recurring items.

Revenue for the quarter ended June 2025 was $86.68 million, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.45%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $92.27 million. Despite the revenue miss, the company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

Wells Fargo cited several factors in its decision to downgrade the stock and reduce the price target. The investment bank noted that CareDx's earnings per share (EPS) missed expectations and that the company's revenue growth has slowed. Additionally, the firm cited concerns about the company's ability to maintain its growth trajectory in the face of increasing competition in the molecular diagnostics market.

Despite the downgrade, analysts remain optimistic about CareDx's long-term prospects. The company has shown a history of exceeding earnings expectations and has a strong pipeline of new products. Additionally, the company's recent acquisition of Cepheid has positioned it to expand its market share in the molecular diagnostics market.

Investors should closely monitor CareDx's earnings calls and future earnings expectations to gauge the company's performance and potential recovery. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement will largely depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
